Creamy Chocolate-Coconut Oatmeal

There's just something about a warm bowl of hearty oatmeal in the winter.  Organic whole grain rolled oats are packed with fiber and protein.  Having a bowl of old fashioned oat meal for breakfast is sure to keep you satisfied until lunch, and provide you with the energy you need to start the day.

As a chocoholic, I find all sorts of ways to incorporate the decadent flavor into my healthy lifestyle.  Be hold...oatmeal that tastes like dessert with minimal sugar!

In a small pot place 1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats to 1/2 cup low calorie coconut milk on medium heat.  Then begin adding the following ingredients:

1 tsp. coconut oil
2 tsp. pure cocoa powder (Hershey's works just fine)
1 tsp. honey (Try local honey)
1 dash of vanilla

Stir and simmer until oatmeal is thick and creamy (5-10 minutes).  If the oatmeal consistency seems dry add more coconut milk.  Place in a bowl and garnish with flaked coconut if desired.  
Enjoy.
